The bones provide a frame for the body. Muscles are attached to the bones, and when the contract, they pull the bone in one direction. When they relax, the bone is free to return to its previous position, thus causing movement.

When do muscles cause bones to move?

Muscles cause bones to move when they contract. This contraction exerts force on the tendons, which in turn pull on the bones, resulting in movement at the joints. The interaction between muscles, tendons, and bones allows for various movements and activities.
